Mom married into family but didn't make child with the father, though still inheriting the family name. Father soon dies in a plane crash and mother re-marries, though the surname from the former husband remains (high class families surnames overrides a lower class persons regardless of gender). Finally makes a child, though the child is only a member of the family due to circumstances.

I honestly imagine the Sarashikis as nice people, just not thoughtful so I doubt there'd be much tension. Just... Insecurity as to where they stand with each other I guess? The sarashiki's arent mentioned so yeah.

Well, Chifuyu's middle school friend in Reversal is in that situation in, though its mostly used as a framing device to expand on the Sarashiki's. While Tatenashi herself is unarguably the second line, all the other Sarashiki's follow the former. Even good girl Kanzashi snipes from time to time.

It seems all m,y designs revolve around adding more swords nowadays...

I can't find a decent design path for Uchigane.

How about more mobility (I did mentioned before).

Since Japan has Yukihira (Freaking ONE-HIT KILL, there is no better weapon than that). It only make sense if they make their unit (or at least develop Test-bed for High-mobility IS) to able to close in against their opponent quickly while dodging the attack at the same time.

Is it odd for a Japanese family to have a female successor? Granted, she's their only child.

Within the depths of the Praxidike base of operations, both Jinrai and Gerald are in the research room where parts and pieces of the now-dismantled Golem drone are arranged atop a long, wide light-table that illuminates the dim room. While the Golem’s chest and head are still intact, its armored limbs are separated from the body to be examined by Jinrai, especially the massive arms which also have four in-built particle cannons around the wrist.

“Amazing… The armor plating itself isn’t thick but the underlying fibers are weaved so compact that it holds the armor together against bludgeoning attacks. The fibers don’t contain as much mass as the plating which allowed this unit to remain very mobile while also benefitting from great armor defense.”

While being impressed by Jinrai’s explanation, Gerald can’t help but look at the shallow blast marks on the forelimbs that were previously caused by Minerva’s particle gun shots.

“What do you make of this?”

“They’re not impervious to particle fire since they lack any forms of defensive coating… and while their armor can withstand tremendous physical blunt damage, this kind of fiber-weaved concept doesn’t stand well against pin-point attacks from what I’ve seen for other armors that used similar concepts.”

To state his point, Jinrai takes out a slender, cylindrical punch and a straight peen hammer from the toolbox on the light-table. He holds the punch’s pointed end on armored portion of the Golem’s legs and slams the hammer onto the punch, causing a brief, sharp noise as well as imprinting a deep dot mark on the armor where the pointed edge was along with short cracks around it. The sudden demonstration also leaves Gerald brow-raised on his durability test methods.

“And to think, Arisawa stabbed it in the head with a particle beam saber… It’s like adding insult to injury.”

Unless I missed some technical canon details on the Golem...

Well, that's actually quite believable when we talk about golem 1, it's defense is not so much thin as it's NONEXISTENT. Do have to remember though, it DOES have exceptionally tough internal frame, especially on the arm portion.

Also do remember that damaging core is not easy, even with I.S.-class weapon, as I said before, that's really some beam saber Minerva have.

Though your explanation also may explain why Dragon Cannon can't do jack, normal pressure/shockwave just didn't work

current design additions for Uchigane are two katana scabbards on each arm for drawing or twin barrel beam machine guns on either arm that are covered when deploying a solid state arm sword that covers both vulcans. Think double sided GN sword.

if I use the two scabbard on each arm design, the waist scabbard will definitely have to go. The GN sword like idea seems to hold water... but I guess I'm still on the fence about it.

I'll probably change the waist scabbard sword at one point, but only for special characters. I really do want to make that high mobility design, but the Uchigane itself doesn't look upgradable in terms of speed.
